Thanks. I'd been thinking about reaching out to you and James.



Thanks. Thankfully I'm young enough that relative inactivity doesn't result in near-immediate atrophy and loss of fitness. ...

Thanks, Danno. Maybe it will go faster, maybe it won't. With two re-injury events I'm not planning on it.

Yeah, I know all that, and knew what she was going to say before she said it. Doesn't make it any easier. A year (or more...) is a long time to not ski or ride with my kid, who is still young...

Saw a PhD concussion specialist last week. I now have an official diagnosis of mild second-impact syndrome (insert joke about doctors being masters of the obvious here). She had little to offer...

Bagged on the Vasa idea, turns out the membership that gets you into the sauna costs a lot more. I might buy one of the portable IR ones, they look super cheesy but reviews are surprisingly good.

I'd probably look like an 8 y.o kid who just outgrew their 20" and the parents moved them straight to a 29er.

The offer is greatly appreciated but you're so much taller than me I think fit would be a problem.

Yeah, Jerry is definitely a concern. I should dust off my touring gear and try going for a walk. Up until quite recently even a mellow tour seemed like it might be a bit much but it would probably...

Despite landing right on the crown of my head my neck never felt the slightest bit sore or otherwise out of sorts. Can't say the same for the rest of my torso which was a wreck, up to and including a...

Thanks for that. The exercise guidelines are pretty conservative but exertion on it's own doesn't seem to bother me. Swimming has never appealed to me. I don't really like pools. Open water swimming...

From what I've read after the first 7-10 days the latest clinical recommendations are no longer "rest, rest and more rest" but rather slow, deliberate, progressive return to activity similar to PT...

Thanks, it's appreciated. Feels good to write all that down as well. AC is in good hands (Rosenberg Cooley Metcalf biocarpentry clinic). Things are going to suck for her in the short-term but...

I'll start knitting hats before I learn ski ballet

:D

Yeah, concussion protocol in major pro sports is a joke, IMVHO.

Exactly three weeks out I was feeling great, though I knew I was quite fragile. I bought the kiddo a trampoline and was assembling...

Yeah, there's other concussion threads, but they're all really old and I have a specific question not previously addressed.

I'm 73 days out from a pretty serious concussion (helmet destroyed, no...
